A NICU nurse in New York City makes Halloween costumes by hand for her patients in an effort to bring a sense of normalcy to their parents amid their hospital stays.
A NICU nurse makes over 50 Halloween costumes by hand each year so that her tiny patients and their families can enjoy a sense of normalcy during an otherwise difficult time. Lilly Fox, a NICU nurse at NewYork-Presbyterian Alexandra Cohen Hospital for Women and Newborns, picks a theme for the costumes and then gets to work constructing them by hand ahead of Halloween. When the theme was animals in 2022, Fox made 54 different costumes.
'They don't get to have some of the expected first baby experiences that they would have if they were not in the NICU.' 'That's our goal — to create as much happiness as we can for just one day in the NICU.' With the costumes, Fox said she 'really likes that we're able to give that opportunity to parents. We can put aside all the tubes and the wires and kind of look past that and just appreciate all the cuteness of the babies and say, 'It's Halloween.
